Hi Gary, wow thats hot nevermind trying to work in that heat, its winter here so ive got the opposite problem of paint drying times.

Your chines look good to go. I opt for skinny 10mm thickness by 3 inch, I attach 2 inch to the boat and have thd other inch proud to gain the extra height, to make a 10 inch side 11 inch or add another inch and get 2 inch, its easyer to bend and stiffens ths structure up good. I usually get them in the molding section of my lumber shop the non fingerjointed.keep the photos up its great to see a build here and even beter to see it get in the water. Phil.

I have also added a couple pictures of my construction to date. It has been 100+ heat index here in florida, so I have not been able to do much on it.
